The educational programme focuses on the operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment and biological treatment systems. The chapters cover the basic theory of units of measurement and physical quantities, as well as the composition and disinfection of wastewater by various methods such as chlorination, ozone and UV radiation. The equipment used in wastewater treatment plants and the various purification processes such as primary, secondary and tertiary treatment are analysed. In addition, environmental management technologies and relevant standards, such as ISO 14001 and EMAS, are presented. In conclusion, the operation and maintenance of the plants are described, with particular emphasis on the activated sludge process, the treatment stages and safety measures. Each chapter is accompanied by case studies for a better understanding of the material.
The purpose of the programme is to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and skills for the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment facilities. The programme aims to learn technical procedures, understand environmental impacts, comply with standards and regulations (ISO 14001, EMAS), and improve the efficiency of facilities. At the same time, it promotes compliance with safety and hygiene measures, ensuring sustainability and environmental protection in wastewater treatment facilities.
